this adventure comedy is a delightful distraction; "Love and Monsters" may not be a wholly fresh concept, but a clever script and Dylan O'Brien's charm make for a super fun adventure comedy
screenwriters Brian Duffield ("Insurgent") and Matthew Robinson ("Dora And The Lost City Of Gold") are plenty familiar with young-adult adventure, but neither succeed in thinking of anything compelling for this lovelorn doofus to do
highly entertaining; "Love and Monsters" offers a refreshing take on the tired apocalypse genre. It's a heartfelt, surprisingly funny adventure with a charming lead performance from Dylan O'Brien
fun if forgettable family-friendly adventure comedy set in a 'monsterpocalypse'; Abetted by a disarming, charming O'Brien, Matthews delivers a daffily lightweight throwback to the teen action-adventures of the '80s and '90s
even with those minor issues, Love and Monsters delivers a lot of pure entertainment, thanks to O'Brien's appealing performance, several cool action sequences, a sharp sense of humor, and those gloriously massive creatures
a heartfelt comedy with tons of monster action; "Love and Monsters" is one of the best surprises of 2020, as it delivers a unique and exciting world and cares about its characters and beasts equally
a happy-go-lucky adventure through an apocalyptic danger zone; It boasts some fine action sequences and inspired beasties; adding first-love nostalgia to the mix ensures it will press enough buttons for enough viewers to be a living-room Halloween succes
"Love and Monsters" presents is an entertaining action-adventure of self-discovery and finding the strength that lies within ourselves; Matthews and Brian Duffield pen not just a monster movie, but one that's a blast to watch and with a lot of heart
"Love and Monsters" does for monster movies what "Zombieland" did for zombies...but better! With a likeable cast, a strong premise, a lot of heart, and some of the coolest monster designs we've seen, this is a must-see
